Portable vanity tray

ABSTRACT

A portable vanity tray rests on a sink and provides a work surface that can hold personal care items, cosmetics, etc. when counter space is insufficient. The portable vanity tray can have a workspace, one or more accessory hollows, a hot tool tray, and a faucet indent. Additional components can include one or more handles and a non-slip backing surface. The accessory hollows provide locations for items to be placed and retained. The hot tool tray is designed to hold beauty tools, especially those that become hot. Heat-dissipation ribbing can be incorporated therein. A faucet indent allows the tray to fit on sinks which have a protruding faucet. Handles provide for easy gripping locations in order manipulate the tray and allow it to be hung up. A non-slip bottom surface retains the tray in place once positioned on a sink or other location.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to the field of sinkaccessories; and more particularly, to a portable vanity tray.

BACKGROUND

Washstands were early forms of sinks. They consisted of a small table orsimilar piece of furniture upon which stood a pitcher or other containerof water and a basin, bowl, tub, etc. that could be used for washing thehands, face, etc. When indoor plumbing and “running water” becameprevalent, washstands were rapidly replaced by sinks with faucets.Today, sinks with faucets are quite ubiquitous across the United Statesand can be found in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and otherlocations in homes and businesses as well as in kitchens and restroomson boats, planes, trains, recreational vehicles (RVs), etc. Sinks in allthose locations can be surrounded by counters, but often, such counterspace is small or non-existent, especially in the latter group.

Many sinks are backed by a mirror (or a mirror is otherwise locatednearby) in order to provide people with a location to wash, groom, applycosmetics, make use of toiletries/personal care items, etc. Since aready supply of running water, a drain, and a mirror are useful items tohave on hand when performing those activities, sinks provide anexcellent location. However, because many sinks lack a surroundingcounter or otherwise have limited available counter or shelf spacenearby, there is a need for an add-on space that can hold cosmetics,toiletries, and/or personal care items and provide an extra work area.This is especially true in locations that are already somewhat cramped,like homes with smaller bathrooms as well as bathrooms in planes, boats,RVs, etc. Furthermore, in order to save space and allow the sink toremain functional, the add-on work area should be easily repositionable,removable, and portable. Many beauty/personal grooming tools such ashair dryers, curling irons, hot presses, trimmers, etc. require a stablelocation or tray to hold said tools when not in use; and since some canbecome quite hot, said tray should be at least somewhat heat-resistant.

Therefore, what is needed is a portable vanity tray that can fit over awide variety of sinks, can hold various types of cosmetics/toiletries,is easily repositionable/removable, provides an additional work space,and can safely hold beauty/personal grooming tools.

SUMMARY

One embodiment of the present invention can comprise a portable vanitytray having a workspace, one or more pluralities of accessory hollows, ahot tool tray, and a faucet indent. Additional components can includeone or more handles and a non-slip backing surface in order to help keepthe portable vanity tray in place on a sink. In one embodiment, theworkspace is indented below the upper surface of the portable vanitytray so that workspace sidewalls can help to keep items within or on theworkspace. This is an especially useful feature when the portable vanitytray is used on a sink in a boat, plane, RV, or any other location inwhich the tray could be moved, tipped, or otherwise shaken. In suchcases, flat topped counters, shelves, etc. do not retain items nearly aswell as the portable vanity tray. The one or more pluralities ofaccessory hollows provide locations for various cosmetics and beautyaccessories to be placed and retained in an upright manner for easyaccess. For example, makeup brushes, lip glosses, etc. can be placed inan upright or vertical manner therein and they are then unable to rollaround as well as being easily located and distinguished between by feelor location. The hot tool tray can comprise a hollowed or curved portionof the device that is designed to hold beauty/grooming tools, especiallythose that become hot such as hair dryers, curling irons, etc.Heat-dissipation ribbing or similar structures can be incorporated inthe hot tool tray in some embodiments. A faucet indent can be includedin a portable vanity tray in order to allow the tray to fit on sinkswhich have a protruding faucet or other encumbrance. Inclusion of one ormore handles in the portable vanity tray provides for easy grippinglocations in order to move, reposition and handle the tray as well asproviding simple locations for hooks, pegs, etc. so that the portablevanity tray can be hung or stowed vertically. A non-slip backing surfacecan be added to the bottom of the portable vanity tray in order to helpthe tray to stay in place once positioned on a sink or other location.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The term “personal care items” can include cosmetics, personal groomingitems, personal hygiene items, toiletries and/or other similar items.When used herein, it is desired that said term be interpreted as broadlyas possible as different people employ a wide variety of such personalcare items.

Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a top perspective viewof an exemplary embodiment of a portable vanity tray 10. The portablevanity tray 10 can comprise a front face 20, a right face 30, a rearface 40, a left face 50, a workspace 70, a plurality of accessoryhollows 54 and 56, a faucet indent 44, and a hot tool tray 60.Additional components can include a right handle 32, a left handle 52, ahot tool tray trough 62, a plurality of heat dissipaters 64, and aworkspace sidewall 74.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the front face 20, right face 30, rear face40, and left face 50 have a curved shape that transitions from thebottom surface (not visible in FIG. 1; see FIG. 7, bottom surface 80) tothe top surface shown in FIG. 1. The curved shape fits the user's hands(especially when manipulating the handles 32 and 52) and so providesenhanced functionality as well as being aesthetically pleasing. In otherembodiments, these faces may be differently shaped.

The workspace 70 shown in FIG. 1 includes the workspace surface 72 andthe workspace sidewall 74. The workspace surface 72 can be relativelyflat and may be covered or coated with a material that grips or holds(or be an inherent property of the material comprising the workspacesurface 72) so that items placed on the workspace surface 72 do noteasily roll or slide around. The workspace sidewall 74 further containsitems on the workspace surface 72 and helps to ensure that anything thatis spilled or dropped is retained on the workspace surface 72. Theworkspace sidewall 74 serves to indent the workspace surface 72 downinto the top surface of the portable vanity tray 10. In anotherembodiment, the workspace surface could be flush (or even raised)relative to the top surface; in such a case, the workspace sidewall 74would comprise more of a raised retention rim.

A plurality of accessory hollows 54 and 56 can be placed on the topsurface of the portable vanity tray 10. These hollows 54 and 56 aredesigned to hold makeup brushes, lip glosses, and other cosmetics,personal hygiene tools, etc. As illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 1,the accessory hollows 54 and 56 comprise cylindrical impressions thatextend vertically downwards into the top surface of the portable vanitytray 10. The top edge can be beveled to assist in placing items withinthe hollows 54 and 56. In other embodiments, the plurality of accessoryhollows 54 and 56 can have a horizontal cross-sectional shape that istriangular, rectangular, pentangular, ovular, or any other suitableshape.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, a faucet indent 44 isincorporated into the rear face 40 of the portable vanity tray 10. Thefaucet indent 44 provides a cut-out like scallop on the rear face 44 inorder for a protruding sink faucet or other encumbrance to beaccommodated by the portable vanity tray 10. The indent 44 allows theportable vanity tray 10 to closely abut the faucet and at leastpartially surround it. Without the faucet indent 44, a low-slung faucetmight interfere with proper placement of the vanity tray 10 on top of asink, causing the tray to be unstable or otherwise not properly fit thesink. For example, if the portable vanity tray has to be placed too farforwards towards the edge of the sink, then large gaps could existbetween the tray and the wall/counter edge leaving room for small itemsto fall within this gap, into the sink, and perhaps down the drain. Byincorporating the faucet indent 44 into the tray 10, such gaps areminimized.

In another embodiment, the faucet indent 44 may be located on the leftface 50 or right face 30 to accommodate sinks having faucets on one sideor the other. Additionally, the portable vanity tray 10 may be reshapedto better fit various sizes and shapes of sinks. For example, a smalldiamond shaped sink designed for a wall corner location would be betterserved by a diamond shaped portable vanity tray 10 having a morepronounced faucet indent 44 on a rear face 40.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, a hot tool tray 60 is shown.Hair dryers, curling irons, hot presses, and similar personal care toolscan be placed in the hot tool tray 60 and be retained therein. The hottool tray 60 comprises a hot tool tray trough 62 incorporating aplurality of heat dissipaters 64. The concave shape of the trough 62provides enhanced retention functionality to the hot tool tray 60 overother shapes. Additionally, the trough 62 has an increased surface areaversus a similarly sized flat area so as to spread out the heat from anytool placed thereon over a larger area. Notwithstanding theseadvantages, in other embodiments, troughs having other shapes arecontemplated. Additionally, in yet another embodiment, a hot tool tray60 may not include a trough 62 and can instead comprise a stand, latchmechanism, flat area, shaped depression, or other work surface on whichpersonal care tools can be placed.

The plurality of heat dissipaters 64 can help to further dissipate heatby further enlarging the surface area, increasing cooling air-flow, etc.The heat dissipaters 64 shown in FIG. 1 are simple raised ridges orribbing. They can be made from any heat resistant material(s). Theplurality of heat dissipaters 64 may also or alternatively have a highcoefficient of friction so that they help to retain the tool(s) withinthe trough 62. In yet other embodiments, the plurality of heatdissipaters 64 are built into the surface of the hot tool tray 60 and donot comprise a distinct separate structure. For example, heat-resistantmaterial(s) could be used to construct the surface of the hot tool tray60 and so no separate heat dissipater structures would be needed.

The right handle 32 and left handle 52 provide multiple usefulfunctions. For example, a user may grasp the portable vanity tray 10 byeither handle 32 or 52 in order to move, align, reposition, steady, orotherwise manipulate the portable vanity tray 10. Additionally, thehandles 32 and 52 provide excellent structures from which to hang theportable vanity tray 10 in a vertical orientation from such items ashooks, pegs, nails, etc. If no such hangers are available, a user cantie a string, scarf, etc. through the handle and suspend the tray 10from a closet clothes rod, clothesline, towel bar, etc. In an alternateembodiment, an “S” hook can be included with the portable vanity tray 10to assist in hanging it. In yet another embodiment, the handle cancomprise a hook shape so that the portable vanity tray 10 can be placedover a towel bar and hooked directly thereto.

In another embodiment, the one or more handles 32 and 52 may be placedin alternate locations. For example, if the portable vanity tray 10 isdesigned to be used with a sink having a faucet on the left or rightside (instead of in the more common rear location), the left or righthandle could swap locations with the faucet indent 44. Alternatively,the left or right handle could simply be replaced by the faucet indent44. In yet another embodiment, the handle(s) could be relocated to nearthe front face 20 and/or the rear face 40.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, other embodiments might include additionalfeatures. Examples of such additional figures may include, but are notlimited to: storage compartments built into the body of the vanity tray;collapsible or foldable sections/hinges so that the tray may becollapsed into a smaller size; see-thru or opaque storage located undera hinged or removable workspace surface 72 or in other locations (suchas under the bottom surface 80, see FIG. 7); and additional accessoryhollows shaped to match specific tools, toiletries, etc.

FIG. 2 illustrates a front elevation view of an exemplary embodiment ofa portable vanity tray 10. The front face 20 is visible as are the rightface 30 and left face 50. Note the curved shape of the faces as theytransition from the bottom surface to the top surface, this shape isapparent when viewing the right and left faces 30 and 50 in the viewillustrated in FIG. 2. Also highlighted by this view, is the concaveshape of the trough 62 of the hot tool tray 60 as well as the pluralityof heat dissipaters 64. As discussed above, in some embodiments, the hottool tray 60 may not include a trough 62.

The dissipaters 64 shown in FIG. 2 are visibly raised above the surfaceof the hot tool tray trough 62. However, in another embodiment, thedissipaters may be built into the surface of the hot tool tray trough 62or the materials used in the trough itself may be made fromheat-resistant materials and so can comprise the dissipaters 64. Inother embodiments, the height of the dissipaters 64 may be more or lesspronounced. In yet other embodiments, heat dissipaters 64 may not beincluded.

FIG. 3 illustrates rear elevation view of an exemplary embodiment of aportable vanity tray 10. This view also highlights the curved shape ofthe right and left faces 30 and 50 and the shape of the hot tool tray60. Additionally, the faucet indent 44 is illustrated although it isdifficult to discern its dimensions from this viewing angle.

FIG. 5 illustrates a right elevation view of an exemplary embodiment ofa portable vanity tray 10. The right handle 32 is just visible in thisview with the remainder of the view showing mostly the right face 30.The hot tool tray 60 can be seen extending into the front and rearfaces. Also visible are a few of the plurality of heat dissipaters 64.

FIG. 6 illustrates a top plan view of an exemplary embodiment of aportable vanity tray 10. As detailed in the other FIG. descriptions, theportable vanity tray 10 can comprise front, right, rear, and left faces20, 30, 40 and 50; a workspace 70; a plurality of accessory hollows 54and 56; a faucet indent 44; a hot tool tray 60; right and left handles32 and 52; a hot tool tray trough 62; a plurality of heat dissipaters64; and a workspace sidewall 74.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the front face 20, right face 30, rear face40, and left face 50 have a curved shape that transitions from thebottom surface to the top surface. The curved shape fits the user'shands and so provides enhanced functionality as well as beingaesthetically pleasing. In other embodiments, these faces may bedifferently shaped.

The workspace 70 shown in FIG. 6 includes the workspace surface 72 andthe workspace sidewall 74. In one embodiment, the workspace surface 72is relatively flat and un-textured. In another embodiment, a texturedsurface is provided to assist in keeping items placed thereon fromshifting. Alternatively, the workspace surface 72 may be covered orcoated with a material that grips or holds items placed thereon so theydo not easily roll or slide around. In addition to properties of theworkspace surface 72 itself, the sidewall 74 further helps to containitems on the workspace and ensures that anything that is spilled ordropped is retained. The workspace sidewall 74 serves to indent theworkspace surface 72 down into the top surface of the portable vanitytray 10. In one embodiment, the sidewall 74 is approximately one halfinch in height. In another embodiment, the sidewall 74 can be eithershorter or taller.

A plurality of accessory hollows 54 and 56 can be placed on the topsurface of the portable vanity tray 10. These hollows 54 and 56 aredesigned to hold makeup brushes, lip glosses, and other cosmetics,personal hygiene tools, etc.

A faucet indent 44 is incorporated into the rear face 40 of the portablevanity tray 10 as shown in FIG. 6. In this embodiment, the faucet indent44 provides a cut-out like scallop on the rear face 44 in order for aprotruding sink faucet or other encumbrance to be accommodated by theportable vanity tray 10. Although not displayed in FIG. 6, the portablevanity tray 10 can incorporate a strap or other attachment device thatcan wrap around a faucet, handle, or the sink itself in order to helpretain the portable vanity tray 10 on the sink.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, a hot tool tray 60 is shown.The hot tool tray 60 comprises a hot tool tray trough 62 shaped toretain a tool therein. The hot tool tray trough 62 can include aplurality of heat dissipaters 64 to help to further dissipate heat byenlarging the surface area of the trough, increasing cooling air-flow,etc. The heat dissipaters 64 can be made from any heat resistantmaterial(s) and may also have a high coefficient of friction so thatthey help to retain the tool(s) within the hot tool tray trough 62.

The right handle 32 and left handle 52 provide multiple usefulfunctions. For example, a user may grasp the portable vanity tray 10 byeither handle 32 or 52 in order to manipulate the tray 10. Additionally,the handles 32 and 52 provide excellent structures from which to hangthe portable vanity tray 10.

When utilizing the handles to transport the portable vanity tray 10, auser can alternatively hold both handles and carry items placed upon thetray, or can hold only one handle and let the vanity tray swingvertically. The portable vanity tray 10 is especially useful whentraveling as it allows a user to bring along his or her standardtoiletries, cosmetics, grooming/personal care items and use them as heor she would at home. Furthermore, hotels, cruise ships, and other‘hospitality industry’ locations often do not have necessary counter orshelf space near sinks and so the portable vanity tray 10 can meet thatneed. Commercial fashion and beauty providers such as nail salons,beauty salons, spas, waxing salons, etc. can also utilize the portablevanity tray.

FIG. 7 illustrates a bottom plan view of an exemplary embodiment of aportable vanity tray 10. The various faces: front 20, rear 40, right 30,left 50 are shown as are the faucet indent 44 and the handles 32 and 52.Importantly, the bottom surface 80 is shown.
